Creature Academy is an all-ages/ science fiction/ fantasy digital comic series created by Kevin Hanna, that ran for four issues and was published in a collected edition for the first time in 2013. [1]
In 2008, LeftJet announced that they had taken steps for a possible future film adaptation; [2] The film, The Creature Academy, is currently in preproduction. [3]
Creature Academy follows the story of Wes Mendes, a rebellious teen who has lived his life on the run with his mother. After his mother is kidnapped by ghost-like specters, Wes must hide in the under-city, a hidden city beneath Seattle where magic users and mythical creatures coexist. There, he joins a team of students and their mythical creatures at the Academy, a school for training magic users. [4]
The protagonist, Wes Mendes, is a young teen learning to navigate a world filled with adults and magic. The characters' names in the book are inspired by famous directors, such as Wes Anderson and Sam Mendes. [5]
The series has been collected into a hardcover volume Creature Academy in 2014 by Red 5 Comics. [6]
In 2015, controversy arose when Kabam's mobile game, also named 'Creature Academy', was accused of infringing on Kevin Hanna's intellectual property. This led to the game being removed from app stores. [7] [8]
